Celebrity Players to Hit Poker Tournament
It is hard to tell these days when talking about celebrity poker players if this refers to poker players who have gained celebrity, or celebrities playing poker, but either way fans of the game win. Online poker rooms such as Doyles Room often bring movie and TV personalities into the game to make it more interesting and draw in the players, such as when Nicky Hilton, sister of the infamous Paris Hilton, will play in the April 23rd Celebrity Bounty Tournament. In addition Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who played a minor role on The Sopranos, will play.

Poker terminology:
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
- REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
